[GW] [40k] Codex Daemonica Rumour

Hey,

A poster called "bakaneko" claims to have seen a playtest version.
Here's what I've been able to glean from a dozen pages of dross:

+++

Army composition

HQ
Greater Daemon: GUO w/ T6, I2 and S&P; BT w/ high S, Wings and a
ranged Attack;
KoS w/ high A stat, Lash, H&R, Grenades (incl. defensive grenade
option) and
Fleet; LoC with high BS, Force Weapon and 3+ Inv. Also, new GD
Characters - Oracle
of Tzeentch (can Split Fire with a Force Weapon and 3 Psi Attacks) and
both
Nurgle and Undivided entries, as well.

Daemonic Herald IC: 2 per slot, may have Chariot, Wounds on a 2+, may
have Psi.
(Psi aren't Powers, just invisible 'weapons' for the Daemon models to
use).
Examples: Breath = Template weapon, Might = +1S, Musk = -1A to enemies
in CC.
One Herald for each Ruinous Power (4). Slaaneshi Herald = Masque.

Elites
Flamers
Flesh Hounds (w/special character)
Fiends of Slaanesh
Beast of Nurgle (FNP Spawn w/ Poisoned Attack)

Troops
Daemonettes w/ Rending and Fleet
Bloodletters w/ T4, PWs and Furious Charge
Plaguebearers w/ FNP, S&P and Poisoned weapons
Pink Horrors w/ a S3 AP3 ranged Attack and a Changeling Character (BoC
option?)
Furies
Nurglings

Fast Attack
Bloodcrushers of Khorne
Juggernaughts of Khorne
Seekers of Slaanesh (Mounted Daemonettes)
Screamers of Tzeentch (move as Jetbikes)

Heavy Support
Soulgrinder (Defiler)
Daemon Prince (customizable with Wings and Wound on a 2+ effect)

General: Codex Daemons have Inv saves, DS and Immunities to ID. Icons
are
available to HQs, Elites and Troops Units. They do boost stats, too.

Well, what do you all think so far?

A few potenitally promising points
Might mean they'll bring out plastic daemons.
I wonder if it'll be like WFB chaos you can mix between the CSM and
this list so you can get real daemons.
